The Lovers

Reaching into the water, we take the reflections’ hands. The Lovers laugh gaily as we feel the greedy marsh suck at our fingers. For a moment, we are pulled under. When we surface, the apparitions are gone.

  • The first two travellers that chose to take the Lovers’ hands jointly win the Bargain of the Lovers.

  • The two winning travellers must pool their Blessings and Bargains together for the rest of the game, or until they lose the Lovers’ Blessing — whichever comes first. Their destinies are now intertwined; while they must continue to play encounters separately, they have one combined number value, and any effects that would affect one of them instead affect both.

HELP FROM AN ITEM

If either winning traveller carries a LOCKET, they may immediately convert the Lovers’ Bargain into a Blessing instead.
